    It’s a bit like the horse vs petrol cars, and now EV’s vs ICE cars.

    I remember the attempt at the brand making a comeback but it definitely seemed to fizzle.

    Why such kind of company like Blackberry has made their classic phones linked to their servers? The customer who bought their legacy phones should still use it even though there is no longer software / OS update. Just like my Nokia 6310i which was released in 2002, it can still function as a phone. In addition to that, my iPhone 5 which Apple has stopped software update support is still functional.

    And the employees? Most were dumb as tree stumps. If they knew the business end of a soldering iron you’d be impressed; I should know I fixed a lot of their PC’s

    Blackberry died a long time ago. They just beat a dead horse for over a decade
